WANTED: A Restaurant Manager Who Eats Chaos for Breakfast (and Still Gets Service Out on Time)( Durban)

Are you the kind of person who can calm a packed Friday night rush with a raised eyebrow and a to-go box? Do you dream in table turns and wake up already knowing today's 86'd items?

A well established Café is looking for a Restaurant Manager who doesn't just run a shift — they run the show.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading a team that actually wants to come to work
  • Turning "we're slammed" into "we've got this"
  • Keeping guests happy, staff motivated, and the kitchen and front-of-house in sync
  • Managing budgets, schedules, and inventory without losing your sense of humor
  • Being the calm in the storm when the POS goes down at 7pm on a Saturday

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience managing a restaurant or hospitality team
  • A leader people actually want to follow (not just report to)
  • Someone who sweats the details — food quality, cleanliness, guest experience
  • A problem-solver who thinks on their feet
  • A genuine love for great food and even better service

What you'll get

  • Competitive salary
  • A team that has your back
  • Room to grow into something bigger
  • The satisfaction of running a place people actually talk about

If you've got the instincts of a chess player, the stamina of a marathoner, and the charm of your favorite bartender — we want to meet you.

Apply today. Let's build something great, one perfectly-timed table turn at a time.
